Choice tonewoods were hand selected for this once-in-a-lifetime instrument, from the solid AAAA spruce top and cocobolo back and sides to the ebony fretboard and rosewood bridge. The most striking appointment, the growing vine inlay that runs from the headstock through the fingerboard all the way to the pickguard, symbolizes "the vital life of Takamine." Don't miss your opportunity to own the pinnacle of Takamine's commitment to quality guitars that make beautiful music - the Takamine T50th Limited Edition acoustic-electric guitar.

Takamine T50th Limited Edition Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • 50 years of Takamine
  • Sounds as good as it looks
  • Premium electronics
50 years of Takamine

Takamine began as a small, family-owned classical guitar workshop at the foothill of Takamine Mountain in Sakashita, Japan. Their reputation grew, and in 1968 the now-legendary Mass Hirade joined the company to help design and build guitars. In 1975, Hirade started an international trading business and began selling Takamine guitars worldwide. Since then, Takamine guitars have become one of the most-played guitars in the world, from country bands to singer/songwriters to major session guitarists. The T50th Limited Edition commemorates the incredible growth Takamine has seen, while maintaining their commitment to guitars that look, feel, and sound amazing.

Sounds as good as it looks

While the growing vine inlay could captivate you for hours, Takamine put every ounce of their guitar-building prowess into making the T50th sound as good as it looks. The top wood is solid AAAA spruce, with only the finest specimens chosen for this extremely limited run of guitars. Not only is solid spruce excellent for bright, lively tones with excellent note definition, it will age gracefully over the years with the tone becoming harmonically richer. And the cocobolo back and sides balance the bright tonality of the spruce top with a natural warmth. Whether you play it acoustically or plugged in, you'll love the sound of the T50th.

Premium electronics

Takamine put their most advanced electronics in the T50th, their Takamine Line Driver (TLD). The TLD is made specifically for Takamine's most luxurious guitars, because it's design requires no cutting into the premium tonewoods of the T50th. You'll love the amazingly natural amplified sound, and the unobtrusive nature doesn't detract a bit from the stunning look of the T50th Limited Edition.
